    1804 What a place! We just came back from a week staying in an apartment in the Gothic Quarter – easy walk to the Metro and many of the sights. I took lots of pictures – I’ll post them as I get them processed. But if you get a chance, it’s the most wonderful mix…

    1621 When my family first came to England (I think at the end of 1959?) we lived in a small coastguard cottage in Swanage. Last week we visited Swanage for the first time in many years, and showed our children where I lived when I was younger than them. On this trip, we stayed in…

    1577 This was a walk over a period of four or five days in 2004 – our first year in the UK. A group of Marina’s friends came over, which was nice, and they walked across the hills, from pub to pub. These are not new pictures – just moved from the old site for…

    1275 I had been to Moscow once, but the rest of the family had never been to any country that was once part of the USSR until our trip to Budapest. It’s an interesting mix. Still lots of Soviet-era buildings, but the people have removed all the statues reflecting the brutalist style of the Soviet…

    1305 It’s a long time ago now. When the boys were small, they attended a wonderful pre-school just up the hill from us in Los Gatos. The characteristics of the school were an outdoorsy, robust approach to life, with lovely nurturing staff. But one of the main things was that it was all about parental…

    I have maintained a separate page and blog for my thoughts about digital photography, but it’s hard to keep more than a couple of sites active and interesting, so I’m going to incorporate my comments on photography in this blog. The first thing I’ll do is re-post the old articles here, and then in the…

    1114 I just posted the pictures of our visit to Cornwall. This was a birthday present from Marina – a big secret, well kept. We dropped the boys off with my parents, and took off westwards. It was a real thrill to find ourselves right out on the point of St. Andrews, finding our way…

    883 1019 Just re-posted the pictures of my trip to China and Hong King in 1986, and our 2006 trip to France: Paris for the marathon and Disney World, and a taste of Brittany and Normandy – our first visit. The trip to China took place just before I moved from England to California –…

    A spring trip to France, taking in the Paris Marathon, Euro-Disney (yuk!), and a few days exploring Brittany and Omaha Beach and Bayeux in Normandy. Paris by Eurostar 904 I love Eurostar. It’s so much more convenient than flying. We can take the train in to Waterloo Station in London, and walk across to the…

In fact, we found…
